CLOTH OF GOLD CROCUS—Crocus susianus. In the 
wild these greet the spring on the slopes of Crimean hills. 
The blos-soms, cups at first, soon open to wide stars of 
brilliant golden orange, heavily laced with velvety brown. 
Earlier than most other Crocuses, mid-February here if the 
weather grants any favors. A hardy pioneer, and in the 
habit of pioneers, it raises big families, so from a few bulbs 
you will soon have many. 7 for 25c; 25 for 75c.; 50 
for $1.40. 
CROCUS TOMMASINIANUS — The delightful little 
“Tommy Crocus” of English gardens, a lovely thing with 
its elongated cups that are clearest lavender; or sometimes 
white without and blue-amethyst within. Of exceeding 
hardiness, and so early that it may show blossoms in 
February. 6 for 25c; 20 for 75c; 50 for $1.50. 
JUST CROCUSES—I always watch for the first Crocus 
blossoms. There may be other flowers just a bit earlier, 
but none that are so luxuriantly colorful, or that give so 
much of that “Spring is here” feeling. In this blend there 
are all the gay Crocus hues; lavender, blue, purple, white, 
striped, yellow and the rest, in bulbs of blossoming size, 
large enough to naturalize wonderfully, or to give effective 
bloom-clumps year after year in the rock garden. 10 for 
20c; 50 for 85c; 100 for $1.75. 
IRIS DUTCH AND SPANISH—Named sorts, grown sepa¬ 
rately, in many rare colorings, are in this mixture, all true 
Bulb Irises, varieties and hybrids of Iris xiphium. The 
blossoms are very like orchids, at least in reminder, and 
particularly long-iasting as cut flowers. Thev have been 
called Poor Man’s Orchid, but ri'h men are glad enough 
to grow them, too, for they are ex eedingiy beautiful. There 
will be russet and smoky bronze combi nations: pale blue, 
indigo, rich yellow, white, softly tinted Hardy and easy 
Size “B,” nice blooming size. 1 7 for 50c: 36 for $1 00; 
100 for $2.50 
DOLLAR DELIGHT COLLECTION—Four bulbs Cal- 
ochortus Blend, eight Iris Dutch and Spanish, ten Hardy 
Star of Bethlehem, ten Crocus Mixed, ten Muscari armenia- 
cum; 42 bulbs, five labeled kinds, $1.35 value, for only ONE 
DOLLAR in the collection. No changes. 
FAIRY DAFFODILS FOR THE ROCK GARDEN 
Here are charming baby species, so unique, so very dif¬ 
ferent from their big brothers, that they scarce seem to be 
Narcissi at all. All make small bulbs. 
NARCISSUS BULBOCODIUM CITRINUS — A lovely 
little Daffodil of pale citron yellow with shyly shrinking 
perianth but a fluted and satiny corona so widely flaring 
that it seems well-called Hoop-petticoat Daffodil. 3 for 40c; 
10 for $1.15. 
NARCISSUS TRIANDRUS ALBUS — Angel’s Tears or 
Ganymede’s Cup, a charming fairy-flower from the hills of 
Portugal. The corona chalice hangs downward, but the 
perianth petals are reflexed like irregularly fluttering wings. 
Creamy white. 3 for 40c; 10 for $1.15. 
QUEEN ANNE’S JONQUIL—Double rosette flowers of 
deepest richest yellow in little clusters. Deliciously fra¬ 
grant. Finest form of true Narcissus jonquilla for the rock 
garden. 5 for 45c; 10 for 85c; 25 for $2.00. 
NARCISSUS CYCLAMINEUS — Nodding blossoms of 
golden yellow, the perianth fully reflexed to give the effect 
of a Cyclamen flower. Finished in exquisite detail, the 
trumpet neatly serrated. Earliest Daffodil of spring. Each 
35c; 3 for 90e; 6 for $1.75. 
COLLECTION OF FAIRY DAFFODILS—Three bulbs 
each of the four kinds, labeled, 12 in all, for $1.85.

Dainty exquisites of the Lily tribe, the Fritillarys present 
no difficulties of culture or of hardiness to the person who 
succeeds with the ordinary Liliums.
